Classical gravity would give a single particle the power of a supercomputer, but physics forbids it—so gravity must be quantum.

An ordinary pebble, while falling, could crack a code of any complexity—if gravity remained classical. Theorists examined this scenario and concluded: since this doesn't happen in reality, gravity must be quantum.

🎯 A qubit is a quantum bit that can be 0 and 1 at the same time. However, in this scenario, quantum speedup alone isn't enough—you need gravity to be tricky.
